User Reviews

Pros: active maintenance, feature-rich PGP capabilities, a clean UI, reliable decryption, and strong positioning as a top iOS PGP app. Cons: recurring key import crashes, stability issues after updates, limited subkey support, beginner-unfriendliness, and value concerns. Privacy metadata concerns are noted by a minority. Overall, iPGMail offers solid functionality but reliability and onboarding can be challenging for some users.

Pros

Active maintenance with responsive developer support.
Feature-rich PGP/GPG capabilities on iOS (encrypt, sign, decrypt with immediate verification).
Nice, clean user interface and overall ease of use.
Reliable decryption and verification that aligns with RFC 4880.
Regarded by multiple users as one of the best, if not the best, iOS PGP app for daily workflows.

Cons

Key import failures and authentication errors when importing private keys (including extended-expiration keys).
Stability issues after updates, including crashes or app not opening on some OS versions.
Limited support for subkeys (sign/encrypt) and interoperability concerns with GnuPG.
Not beginner-friendly; steep learning curve for users who aren’t highly competent with PGP.
Perceived poor value for money among some users (waste of money) and occasional feature gaps like attachments support.

Recent reviews

Adding a Public PGP to encrypt isn't easy hence the low review. Other apps it's a simple copy paste, but they aren't capable of modern encryption methods. This one as I understand it is capable of the modern encryption methods but isn't as simplified as the other apps. Forced to use my laptop to do that in the simplified way I can do. Can't say it isn't possible but it's not friendly to people who aren't super competant (me admittedly.) I'm sure many of the features work for what it's designed for but given the limited PGP options on iOS this isn't super easy and not worth the money if that's what you're seeking

I’ve been having issues recently while attempting to import one of my GPG private keys. Specifically, when importing, I get an error saying “Authentication Failed”. I’m able to do this without fail on a different private key that I generated not that long ago. The only difference between the two is that the first secret key I attempted to import was extended as it expired earlier this year. It works perfectly fine with the GPG software, so wondering if there is an incompatibility with keys which have had their expiration extended? It would be nice if this could be addressed and resolved as I use the app on a regular basis.
